Oral Food Desensitization in Children With IgE-Mediated Cow's Milk Allergy: Immunological Changes Underlying Desensitization [PDF]
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy to induce clinical desensitization to cow's milk (CM) of an oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocol in a pediatric population with cow's milk allergy (CMA). In addition, the immune responses against β-casein, of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from CMA patients, before and after the protocol ...

Immunological mechanisms for desensitization and tolerance in food allergy [PDF]
Food allergy is a major public health concern in westernized countries, estimated to affect 5 % of children and 3-4 % of adults. Allergen-specific immunotherapy for food allergy is currently being actively evaluated, but is still experimental. The optimal protocol, in terms of the route of administration of the food, target maintenance dose, and ...

Editorial: Sensitization and Desensitization in Organ Transplantation
Transplantation is the gold standard treatment for end-stage organ failure. Sensitization, the prior exposure to non-self human leukocyte antigen (HLA), is a major impediment to transplantation as it reduces the chances of finding a suitable donor and ...

HLA Desensitization in Solid Organ Transplantation: Anti-CD38 to Across the Immunological Barriers [PDF]
The presence of anti-human leucocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies in the potential solid organ transplant recipient’s blood is one of the main barriers to access to a transplantation. The HLA sensitization is associated with longer waitlist time, antibody mediated rejection and transplant lost leading to increased recipient’s morbidity and mortality ...
